we which live—in the power of Christ's "life" manifested in us, in our whole man body as well as spirit (Romans 8:10-11; see on II Corinthians 4:10; compare II Corinthians 5:15). Paul regards his preservation amidst so many exposures to "death," by which Stephen and James were cut off, as a standing miracle (II Corinthians 11:23).
delivered unto—not by chance; by the ordering of Providence, who shows "the excellency of His power" (II Corinthians 4:7), in delivering unto DEATH His living saints, that He may manifest LIFE also in their dying flesh. "Flesh," the very element of decay (not merely their "body"), is by Him made to manifest life.
